GSAT-7A is expected to be launched in the second half of 2018 and will be launched on board the Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou, French Guiana. The GSAT-7A satellite will be put into a geosynchronous orbit.

Well, in the same article:

According to news agency PTI, ISRO Chairman K Sivan has confirmed the launch of the GSAT-7A mission this year. "We have another GSLV mission, which is going to have GSAT-7A," he said.

A launch of GSAT-7A by Ariane would be a change from what was announced in the ISRO annual report 2017-18

According to my reading, GSAT 7A is a 2.5 tonne satellite, correct ? So why can’t ISRO launch it with GSLV MKII ?

Also, do we have confirmation by the French that this satellite would be launched from an Ariane rocket ?

GSAT-7A targeted for September on GSLV MkII, RISAT-2A by the end of the year
Quote
Isro will launch a dedicated satellite, Gsat-7A, for the Indian Air Force (IAF) in September and an advanced remote sensing satellite, Risat-2A, for surveillance purpose by the end of the year.

Gsat-7A, which will be lifted by a GSLV Mk II rocket, will enable the IAF to interlink different ground radar stations, airbases and AWACS aircraft. It will also boost the IAF’s network-centric warfare capabilities and enhance its global operations.

The GSLV-MK III mission, planned in July for launch of 4.4 ton satellite will be powered by a liquid core stage L110 stage, which uses two high pressure Vikas engine for combined high thrust

Slip to July is confirmed

Also GTO payload capacity of GSLV MK-3 will be increased to 4.4 tons from D2 mission onwards. The LEO payload capacity should also be increased to around 8.8 tons.

As the Commission is aware, BlackSky is under a tight timetable to ship its
Global-1 satellite on July 15, 2018, for a September launch.

Global-1 is on a PSLV flight.

 If the next PSLV flight is in September, does that mean the other scheduled launches- GSLV Mark 2 with GSAT-7A, GSLV Mark 3 with GSAT-29, PSLV with an IRNSS and the Chandrayaan launch, will also be pushed back?  Or more likely, the Chandrayaan mission will go as planned in October, but the other 2-3 will be delayed?

Talking to TOI, Isro chairman K Sivan said here, “Of various missions lined up this year, the first launch will be of a PSLV rocket in September that will solely be for commercial  purpose. Two UK satellites weighing 450 kg each will be the  main payload. UK will use these satellites for earth observation. There will not be any Indian satellite.”

According to Sivan, in September ISRO will fly a PSLV rocket with two foreign satellites, earning revenue for the country. In October, another PSLV rocket will fly with an Indian remote sensing satellite and several foreign satellites. October will also see India’s heaviest rocket 640-ton GSLV Mk III flying up with GSAT-29 with Ka x Ku multi-beam and optical communication payloads. The mission targets Village Resource Centres (VRC) in rural areas to bridge the digital divide.

In November, ISRO will fly a GSLV Mk II rocket to put into orbit GSAT-7A, to be used by the Indian Air Force (IAF). Earlier, ISRO had launched GSAT-7 or Rukmini satellite for the Indian Navy.

Queried about the 5.8-ton GSAT-11, a communication satellite that was recalled from French Guiana this April, Sivan said: “We expect the satellite to be launched before the end of this year. Discussions with Arianespace are on regarding the time and date of the satellite launch.”

An American cubesat launching on PSLV around December (arranged through Spaceflight):
Analytical Space "Meshbed" 3U CubeSat (0585-EX-CN-2018)
Quote
The overall goal of the Meshbed mission, is to test an experimental phased array
communication antenna, model named FUSE.

The satellite will be launched as a secondary payload aboard a Polar Satellite Launch
Vehicle (PSLV) operated by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), from
Sriharikota, India in December 2018, and deployed upon the rocket reaching orbit. It will
be deployed from the rocket in a 550 km circular orbit, on an inclination from the equator
of 97.6 degrees.

^^^

So does this mean that there are going to be 3 PSLV launches before the end of the year? The purely commercial one in September, another PSLV with an Indian remote sensing satellite and a few foreign ones,  and finally the December mission with an American "Meshbed" satellite. 

Or are all these tentative and mixed up, or two of them anyway. The December launch with the US satellite is referring to the same mission as the October one with an Indian Cartosat  etc., and the month is still up in the air. Anyone can clarify?

CHENNAI: To keep pace with the rising demands of the country, Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) will increase its satellite launches to at least 12 a year, said  Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) director S Somanath.
"We are also planning to build high data communication satellites (at least 100 Gigabyte per second) and landing on the moon by Chandrayan II by next year," he told reporters after speaking at Sathyabama University's 27th convocation programme on Sunday.
